(the typical path is C:\Program Files\Kerio\WinRoute Firewall\quarantine)

Messages with untrustworthy attachments are saved to this directory under names

which are generated automatically by WinRoute. Each filename includes information

about protocol, date, time and the connection number used for transmission of the

message.

before the subject of each email message where at least one infected attachment is

found. This text informs the recipient of the message and it can be also used for

automatic message filtering.

a warning message is attached instead.

server does not support TLS, encrypted connection is not used and the traffic is performed in

transmitted messages. WinRoute administrator can select one of the following alternatives:
